A very cool video.

There's also a cool anecdote of Bill Odenga (sp?) doing a rolling-spree at 6ft (yes, six) over some british airfield in the 60s.

When told to "F.off!!!", he answered "say again!" :biggrin:

 

I also like this one:

 

 

Low level, baby!

 

NOTE: The take-offs don't just appear to be fast. In the "four-tanker" configuration, lift-off speeds would be at around 230KIAS!

That's quite hot, as max tyre speed is at around 240KIAS and max gear-transit speed is 260KIAS!

Ha, ha, famous pilots too... Leo van den Born retired from the KLu in 2007 as a Major General , having flown NF 5, F 104G and F 16's, further jobs included Det. Com Villafranca during Deny Flight over Yugoslavia, base commander and Dep. Co. ISAF, so in the end everything turned OK after the wild Sardinian weekend... :blackeye:

As for the Belgians, Bill Ongena was a living legend too...
